To all 'whom t may concer/n: l

Be it known that I, TJERK DYKSTRA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sheldon, in the county of OBrien and State of Iowa,`have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Oil Burners, of which the following is a specification. Y

My invention relates to improvements in oil burners that is well adapted for em ploying fuel of the cheaper grades, the nature of the invention being such as to coinpletely vaporize the fuel before the same passes to the burner nozzles, the invention being further characterized by the -high degree of heat obtained in the employmentrof the burner constructed in accordance with my invention. i

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the fol-v lowing detailed description is read in con-Y nection with the ,accompanying drawings,

the invention residing in the construction,` combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed. In the drawings forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein i Y Figure 1 is an elevational view of my irnproved oil burner, together with the supply tank therefor.

Figure 2 is an enlarged detail vertical cross sectional view of the burner.

Figure 3 is a vertical transverse cros sectionalview thereof, and r Figure 4 is a detailV sectional view of one of the burner nozzles, per se.

Referring to the drawings in detail, my device constitutes the provision of a stand 5 of any desirable construction, there being positioned upon this stand, a pair of vertically disposed nipples 6, the same -being formed integral uponthe ends of a cross plate 7, this plate being in turn secured as at 8 to the said stand 5. The opposite ends of each of these nipples 6 are screw threaded as clearly shown in Figure 2, and screw threadedly disposed within the lower ends of the nipples are the screw threaded ends of pipes 9, it being of course understood that the said stand 5 is formed with openings in alinement with the nipples, for permitting the engagement of the pipe 9 there# through. rIhe opposite ends of each of these pipes 9 are connected through theinstruinentality of elbows 10, with a cross pipe11,'this pipe being in turn connected with an oil feed line pipe 12. This oil feed `line pipe is equipped with a cut o valve l13, the said feed line extending to an oil tank 14 ofV a desired capacity.V

Disposed within the upper screw threaded' ends of each V`of the said nipples 6 are the lower screw threaded ends ofpipes 15, theY upper ends thereof being screw threadedly Vdisposed within outlet nipples 16, upon opposite ends of a burner dome 17. This dome 17 is equipped` with .an outlet pipe 18, the same being pendent therefrom, and c011-V A nected through the instrumentality of a right angularly extending pipe 19 VWithla cross pipe 20.Y As more lclearly shown in Figure 4, the ends of this pipe 2Oy are Veguippedwith elbows 21, each of which carries a burner nipple 22, the same extending vertically for permitting the iiame to impinge upon the bottom surface of the said dome 17 for vaporizingthe fuely oil therein.

Positioned over the said dome 17 is a Y llame deliector 23, the same being of considerable depth, and being in the form of an inverted pan-shaped member, Vand in View of the above description, it Vwillat once' beV apparent that by opening the valvelB in` the pipe linel 12, the oil from the tank V14 will be permitted to flow into'the dome 17,

the flame from the burner nipples 22 effectively vaporizing the oil therein.

It is believed by me that it will be at once apparent that I have provided a highly im-V proved form of oil burner, and one that is well adapted for burning the cheaper grades of oil, and although I have herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is neverthelessV to be understood that minor changes may be Y made therein, without departing from the .Y

porting the burner, a cross plate mounted on the stand having an opening in each end extending vertically therethrough, a main oil supply having a pair of branches, each branch being vconnected with one end of the cross plate and communicating with the opening therein, a pair of hollow risers. each having one end vmounted in one end of the cross plate and communicating withY the opening therein, a hollow burner dome-rec- 10 a downwardly extending tangular in cross section having the lower outer end portion connected with the risers, and outlet pipes extending downwardly from the central side portion of the dome and terminating in a lateral extension, a pair of burners extending from the end of the lateral extension oppositely in the plane of the riser and toward the riser, and :i burner cap mounted over the dome having skirt portion porization and superheating, preparatory to entering the outlet pipe.

Y n testimony whereof I aiiix my Signat.l

ture.
